If the heart is the center of emotion, how might these emotions effect Hamlet's reactions?

Question 4 options:

Hamlet is not an emotional character and has no emotional reactions.


Hamlet reacts with his heart and does not clearly think through situations.


Hamlet only reacts to his emotions discounting those around him.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Hamlet reacts with his heart and does not clearly think through situations.

He is deeply emotional character. He claims to carry out revenge on his father`s death in the Act I, but he suffers to do so for many weeks, even month. So, it shows that he lives by his heart and doesn`t think through all the  situation.

Also, he suffers to express his love for Ophelia as he is too emerged with revenge of his father`s death.
